Serial no. 390,485.

This invention relates to printers galleys as used in the composing room of a newspaper office and one object of the presentinvention is to parts of which are interchangeable for use in both loading and unloading of a printers chase.

A further object of the present invention is to provide a printers galley of the'character stated in which one side wall of "the printers galley may be adjusted laterally to take care of a given width desired in column width.

Other and further objects of the present invention reside in the provision of general details of constructionand in the arrangement, combination and connection of parts for attaining the results sought by the foregoing objects.

Other and further objects not at this time referred to will hereinafter appear.

The invention consists of the novel construction hereinafter described and finally claimed.

The nature, characteristic features and scope of the invention will be more fully understood from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings forming part hereof, and in which Fig. 1, is a top or plan view of a printers galley for printers chase loading, the unoading part thereof being shown in dot-ted Ines. I

Fig. 2, is a side elevational view.

Fig. 3, is a view in section taken upon the line 3-3 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 4, is a view in line 4-4 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 5, is a top or plan view ofthe unloading attachment shown by dotted lines in Fig. 1, in detached position.

Fig. 6, is a view in side elevation of the parts shown at the left hand side of Fig. 1, enlarged.

Fig; 7, is a cross sectional view of Fig. 6.

For the purpose of illustrating my invention I have shown in the accompanying drawings one form thereof which is at present preferred by me, since the, same has been found in practice to give satisfactory section taken upon the provide a printers galley the I tween the fixed wall 3 and the a pair of thumb screws 14 having screwand reliable results, although'itv is to be understood that the various instrumentalities of which'my invention consists can be variously arranged and or anized and that my invention is not limite to the precise arrangement and organization of the instrumentalities as herein shown and described.

Referring now to'the drawings, the reference numeral 1 designates the bottom plate of the galley and is provided with fixed sides 2 and 3 and a fixed back 4. "-Theside wall 2 is'provided with a-forwardly'projecting portion 5 which is bevelled upon its under face. Arranged upon the bottom plate 1 and adapted to be moved toward or away fromthe fixed wall 2 is the wall 6 the forwardend ofwhich is provided with projecting portion 7 corresponding in shape to projection upon wall 2; i The bottom plate 1 is slotted and bevelled as at 8 to permit the pin or screw 9, which is'bevelled to the same angle as the slot, and carried by wall6 to work therethrou-gh and'removable' at the enlarged part of slot 8. -The wall 6 is provided with an offset 10 which accommodates said pin or screw 9. It also affords a stop against which may abut one end of a plate 11 the opposite end of which abuts against the end wall 4. The end wall 4 is notched at 12 to normally receive the end 13 of wall '6. The wall 6 and plate 11 are arran ed in parallelism' and normally abut. Xrranged bethreaded relation with the plate 11, the purposev being to move the plate 11 away from the movable wall 6 so that if found necessary or desirable the'width of a column of type to be introduced within the galley may be taken care of. With the type positioned in the galley said type may be delivered bodily by tilting the galley at its rear end and sliding the type directly to the 'printers chase. It may be stated that the bevelled undersides of the forwardly projecting portions 5 and 7 facilitate a proper angle of the: galley being obtained with' respect to chase for type introduction to the chase.

It is just as desirable properly to remove a column oftype after use as is to introplate 11 are 1-, the chase the combined galley duce the same. For this purpose I provide the attachment shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1 and in full lines in Figs. 5, 6 and 7. This attachment is arranged for detachable connection with respect to a galley. It comprises a bottom plate 15, the forward end of which is provided with side walls 16 having flange parts 17 secured at 18 to the bottom plate 15, see Fig. 7. The forward ends of these side walls 16 are outwardly flared at 19. The rear ends of the walls 18 are bevelled upon their upper faces at 29 so that when the attachment is positioned upon a galley for type removal, as shown in Fig. 6, the bevelled parts of the alley walls cooperatively engage wedge-fashion to provide relative rigidity of parts. The underside of the bottom plate 15 has secured thereto as by rivet-s 21 a :guide piece 20. This guide piece is laterally disposed and slotted to receive the forward end of the bottom plate 1 ofthe galley, see Fig. 6. Thus, the printers galley and the novel attachment become relatively interlocked. In removing type from and attachment is held in horizontal position and not in tilted position as when presenting type, the edge 22 of bottom plate abutting the end of the make-up table and the flared ends 19 resting upon the top of the make-up table.

am aware that the invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential attributes thereof, and I therefore desire the present embodiment to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, reference being had to the appended claims rather than to the foregoing description to indicate the scope of the invention.

hat I claim is:

1. A printers galley comprising an open ended box-like structure having parallel fixed sides and an extended bottom, a movable side wall arranged intermediate said fixed walls, a slot and pin connection between said movable wall and the galley bottom, a plate arranged to abutagainst the outer face of the movable wall, and thumb screws engaging said plate to secure lateral movement of said movable wall.

2. A printers galley comprising an open ended box-like structure having parallel fixed sides and an extended bottom, a movable side wall arranged intermediate said fixed walls, the forward end of one fixed wall and the forward end of the movable wall each terminating in an extension having a bevelled under face, a slot and pinconnection between said movable wall and the galley bottom, a plate arranged to abut against the outer face of the movable wall, and thumb screws engaging said plate to secure lateral movement of said movable wall.

3. A printers galley comprising an open ended box-1ike structure having arallel fixed sides and an extended bottom, a movable side wall arranged intermediate said fixed walls, a slot and pin connection between said movable wall and the galley bottom, a plate arranged to abut against the outer face of the movable wall, thumb screws engaging said plate to secure lateral movement of said movable wall, an attachment to be fitted in the galley comprising side walls and an extended bottom, said side walls having rearwardly extended portions with bevelled upper faces for engaging beneath the bevelled faces upon said galley walls, and means interlocking said parts together.

'4. An attachment of the character stated comprising a pair of spaced vertical walls and an extended bottom for insertion in a printers galley, the forward ends of said walls being outwardly flared and the inner ends of said walls being bevelled upon their upper faces for galley wall engagement, and a guard to receive the forward end of a galley bottom.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto signed my name.
